MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yards Correspondent
j Kansas City Si,»<-k > ardr>, Dec,
Under the influence of '-mall r> -
ceipts of cattle fast week, the
(market was vei‘\ satisfactory,
(milking gains of 20 to 55c on
1 b?ef steers, 10 to 15c on cows and
i heifers, 25c on calves, and strong
to a little higher on Stockers and
feeders. The big steers were
less in demand than yearlings or
handy weights, a Condition near
ly always prevalent at this season
and later. Top yearlings last
week brought £7.10, best heavy
steers £(>.75. Cutlet for the mar
ket in the east is said to be nar
row. but the 8,000 here today met
a strong market, steers 10 higher
in sortie cases, and cows up 5 to
15c- Best steers today sold at
£(> 50 and £(>.(>0, about 40 of the
beef steers at St> or better, bal
ance at £4 50, cows and heifers
£2.75 to £5-75, bulls £2(><> to
£4.55, calves $5.75 to £7.50, Stock
ers $5.25 to £4 50, feeders £4 to
£5.25. Anxiety o f buyers last
ten days has been a surprise, in
view of weak reports from
markets east, and the usual dull
ness around the Christmas holi
days. Cattle receipts here for
December will aggregate 150,000
head, not including 15,000 calves,
an increase of almost 10 per cent
over same month last year. Coun
try buyers have bought more
freely this year than last, and
have taken more fleshy steers
than usual, which left a smaller
number for the packers, and par
tially explains the good market.
The hog market closed at the
top point of the week Saturday,
15 to 20c above close of previous
week. The illogical nature of the
packers late stand for lower
prices was futly displayed, and
the fact that thev are operating
on a had to mouth basis was set
forth in their scramble for sup
plies account of the reduced run,
43,000 head last week, only half
the run of previous week. Supply
is N.000 here today, market 5 to
10 higher, top $<>, several loads
put over at that ligure, medium
weights at $5 70 to $5.95, light
hogs 85 30 to 85 75, pigs $4.25 to
$5.25.
The sensational rise of 75c to
$1 percwt was affected by sheep
salesmen last week without much
resistence from buyers, run 15,
000 for the week. Supply today
is 7000 head, market 10 higher,
and highest prices ot the season
paid today for all classes, lambs
at $7 00, yearlings $(>.(>5, wethers
$5 25, ewes $4 75. The raising
of the Michigan quarantine regu
lations in this country and the
refusal of Canada to do likewise
will throw larger supplies on the
Chicago market, as Michigan fed
stuff can not move to the east
through Canada as formerly, a
feature that may effect the mar
ket adversely lor awhile. Few
feeders are included in receipts.
Weak
Heart Action
There are certain nerves
that control the action
of the heart. When they
become weak, the heart
action is impaired. Short
breath, pain around heart,
choking sensation, palpi
tation, fluttering, feeble
or rapid pulse, and other
distressing symptoms fol
low. Dr. Miles Heart Cure
is a medicine especially
adapted to the needs of
these nerves and the mus
cular structure of the
heart itself. It is a
strengthening tonic, that
brings speedy relief.
Try it.
"For years I Buffered with whnt I
thought was stomach trouble, when
tbo doctors told me 1 Imd heart
trouble. I had tried many remedies,
.when the Dr. Miles’ almanac came
Into my hands, and 1 concluded to
try Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. I have
taken three bottles, and now I am
not suffering at all. 1 am cured and
this medicine did It. I write this in
tho hope that it will attract the at
tention of others who suffer ns I did.’’
MRS. D. BARRON,
S04 Main St.. Covington, Kjr.
Your druggist sells Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure, and vve authorize him to return
price of first bottle (only) if it fails
to benefit you.
